abstract = {Isoprene is the most abundant volatile compound emitted by
vegetation. It influences air chemistry and is thought to
take part in plant defense reactions against abiotic stress
such as high temperature or ozone. However, whether or not
isoprene emission impacts ozone tolerance of plants is still
in discussion. In this study, we exploited the transgenic
non-isoprene emitting grey poplar (Populus x canescens
(Aiton) Sm.) in a biochemical and physiological model study
to investigate the effect of acute ozone stress on the
elicitation of defense-related emissions of plant volatiles,
on photosynthesis and on the antioxidative system. We
recorded that non-isoprene emitting poplars were more
resistant to ozone as indicated by less damaged leaf area
and higher assimilation rates compared to ozone-exposed
wild-type (WT) plants. The integral of green leaf volatile
emissions was different between the two poplar phenotypes
and was a reliable early marker for subsequent leaf damage.
For other stress-induced volatiles, such as mono-, homo- and
sesquiterpenes and methyl salicylate, similar time profiles,
pattern and emission intensities were observed in both
transgenic and WT plants. However, unstressed non-isoprene
emitting poplars are characterized by elevated levels of
ascorbate and alpha-tocopherol as well as by a more
effective de-epoxidation ratio of xanthophylls than the WT.
Since ozone quenching properties of ascorbate are much
higher than those of isoprene and furthermore
alpha-tocopherol is also an essential antioxidant,
non-isoprene emitting poplars might benefit from changes
within the antioxidative system by providing them with
enhanced ozone tolerance.},
